van morrison - cleaning windows lyrics
van morrison – cleaning windows
oh, the smell of the bakery from across the street
got in my nose
as we carried our ladders down the street
with the wrought-iron gate rows
i went home and listened to jimmie rodgers in my lunch-break
bought five woodbines at the shop on the corner
and went straight back to work.
oh, sam was up on top
and i was on the bottom with the v
we went for lemonade and paris buns
at the shop and broke for tea
i collected from the lady
and i cleaned the fanlight inside-out
i was blowing saxophone on the weekend
in that down joint.
what’s my line?
i’m happy cleaning windows
take my time
i’ll see you when my love grows
baby don’t let it slide
i’m a working man in my prime
cleaning windows (number a hundred and thirty-six)
i heard leadbelly and blind lemon
on the street where i was born
sonny terry, brownie mcghee,
muddy waters singin’ “i’m a rolling stone”
i went home and read my christmas humphreys’ book on zen
curiosity killed the cat
kerouac’s “dharma b-ms” and “on the road”
what’s my line?
i’m happy cleaning windows
take my time
i’ll see you when my love grows
baby don’t let it slide
i’m a working man in my prime
cleaning windows…
